Christian Saldert

​Educated in the Central Saint Martins in London (BFA) and The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (MFA), Christian Saldert works with painting and video as his main medium. Saldert’s artistic practice is an immaculate conceptual and fictional composition process paying tribute to the tradition of painting. In his works, Saldert constructs visual stages charged with identifiable elements and novel narratives. His emphasis lies in composition as an aesthetically compelling methodology. By using theoretical references of Lettrisme and the forgotten visual fragments, Saldert simulates and visualizes how information is communicated and disseminated.​ 

 

Saldert works with various collaborations. Recent solo exhibitions include The Window Paris; Helsinki Central Library Oodi; House of the Arts, Turku; Kunsthalle Porvoo; Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, Stockholm; Riksarkivet, Stockholm & Espacio Continuo, Bogota. His most recent work includes acting in a supporting role for Estonia (2023) TV Series, World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival TIFF and in a leading role for the Golden Bear nominated (2018) Toppen av Ingenting / The Real Estate, World Premiere at 68th Berlinale Film Festival. Other recent commissions include music video direction, album cover design, artwork creation and live video performance for Markus Krunegård and artwork creation for Our Legacy. Saldert has exhibited in various group exhibitions worldwide.
